At its Easter meeting in 1953, the Victorian State Foresters' Association decided to publish a Newsletter in roneoed form using Departmental facilities.  The first of what was to become a long series of The Victorian Foresters Newsletter was published in November 1953, with the initial editors being K. V. M. Ferguson, C. J. Irvine and Dr F. R. Moulds. After about issue No.30, the Association paid for the printing to be undertaken outside the Department. The last Newsletter, No.60, was published in December 1985.

Copies of the entire series of these Newsletters are available below. To help find articles of interest a list of Contents is available (Note that No.28 is an Index for Nos. 1-27). In the future it is hoped to provide a more user-friendly way to search for articles of interest.

In 1986, what had by then become the Victorian State Foresters' Association wound up its affairs because of the dramatically changed nature of the arrangements for forest management in Victoria (see A Fraternity of Foresters, 1994).
